Stereo vs. Mono
The outgoing signal from the HeadRush Pedalboard can be mono or stereo, depending on
the models in your rig, the signal path, and which outputs you are using. An indicator near
the end of the signal path indicates the current configuration.
The signal will be stereo if you do any one of the following:
Use any stereo effect model in your signal chain. Even if you have placed mono
effect models after it. (This is possible because the mono effect is simply applied
identically to both channels and not summed.)
Use a split signal path, even if the split paths rejoin before the output.
Use a double-amp and/or double-cab configuration (i.e., if 2X is on).
The signal will be mono if you do all of the following:
Use no stereo effect models in your signal chain.
Use the linear (not split) signal path.
Use only single-amp and single-cab configurations, if you use an amp or cab model
at all.
Alternatively, the signal will be mono if you do any one of the following:
Use only the L/Mono output (of a stereo pair) on the rear panel.
Reduce the Rig Width output setting to 0%.
To adjust the width of the stereo field, tap the Out icon at the end of your signal path, and
turn the third parameter knob to adjust the Rig Width output setting. This affects stereo
signals only, not mono signals. 100% uses the full stereo field, while 0% produces a mono
signal.
